Why does it matter what I "need"? Why is it any of your business what I do with my money? I should have the right to spend it how I want, it's mine.

It's not your money. It's partly mine and everyone else's in the country. Just like my money is partially yours. It's my business that you're paying your way in society in a correct manner so that I and others can benefit as part of a collective.

(Not that it's always fair but that's a different argument.)

Ah, so that's why the cops figure that having more than a few hundred in cash means it's partly theirs. Well, not partly, they generally seem to think is completely theirs.

If the money were yours, it would be legal to destroy cash you possess. I don't think it is in most places that use fiat as a medium of exchange.
